Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...
Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is
There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.
If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:
which simplifies a bit to
and a bit more to
Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get
which of course simplifies to
-3. Choice A.
The answer is 22 because in order to divide fractions (in this case we would have 11 as a fraction), you need to multiply one fraction by the reciprocal of the other fraction (the flipped form of a fraction).
To find this, we would do *
.
This would come to be , and when simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 9, you get 22.
